Basebal Stuff 2

Some thoughts on the game. So the Yankees won the World Series as I thought they would but wished they wouldn’t. They made it look so easy; it was as though even in their second loss they could have come back if they really wanted to win on the road rather than their brand new ballpark. The stadium which if the Yanks weren’t so tradition would be renamed George Steinbrenner Stadium once the old man passes into the Elysian Fields and can get all the top players he wants no matter what contract they’re locked into.

Tim Lincecum: Pot Head. They’re really isn’t anything shocking about this at all but it is unfortunate that he didn’t have the forethought to at very least conceal his weed and pipe which just left him with a speeding ticket on I5. That’s also strange to me, doesn’t everybody speed on I5, isn’t it the highway where 100mph is staying with the flow?

Albert Pujols needs to come out and admit he’s been juicing this whole time especially with new hitting instructor Mark McGuire joining he’s team the Cardinals. I would also say that their manager Tony LaRussa needs to step forward and admit the he thinks players should be taking steroids as he’s the one hiring Big Mac or The Beef Injection we could call Mr. McGuire.

Alex Rodriguez- You don’t deserve you’re ring; it should be the punishment you get for all your cheatin’ ways. In fact they should strike your name from the championship roster. Would players still get on the ‘roids if they weren’t allowed to play in the post season once caught nor would they be eligible for any awards such as the Cy Young or the MVP. How would that change the attitude?

L.A. Dodgers - More Mannywood! Mr. and Mrs. McCourt will be divorcing thanks to Jamie’s infidelity with her chauffeur . . . that’s awesome rich person stuff! Do you think chauffeurs consider that job hazard or fringe benefit whichever way you want to see it when they start driving professionally?

The Red Sox – What the hell man! What are you guys going to do to compete in 2010? Is it going to be a rebuilding year? Keep Ellsbury, Padroia, Yukilis, Beckett, Lester, Buchholz, Victor Martinez, Papelbon, Ortiz and start from there. The catching, 3rd base, the corner outfield positions, short stop and some pitching that’s all that needs tooling. Ha!

Free Agents:
John Lackey will wind up on the Mets or Seattle

Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui are in the same boat and there’s only one life jacket. They are both aging, both play the same positions for the same team Left Field and Designated Hitter, do the Yankees really want both of them back? They had comparable seasons but it would seem that only one will stay with the champs but what do I know?

Jason Bay is being an idiot and not taking the Red Sox money as I don’t think he realizes that Matt Holliday looks very attractive right now. Mr. Bay may find himself wondering what happened if he doesn't sign with a real team soon.

Matt Holliday may stay with the Cardinals because hitting with Pujols is so fun and his new hitting coach may have some magic beans for him to get much bigger and stronger by April or he could be a Red Sox stud or fill in as a younger option for the Yankees. Can he play hardball in the A.L. though? He was tepid during is Oakland days but he had no protection and was probably wondering how to get out of the East Bay the moment he saw the stadium.
